Regis University Student Government Association (RUSGA) is the organization that encompasses all undergraduate students in Regis College and the Reuckert-Hartman College for Health Professions and aims to provide programming and activities for student with the goal of improving the Regis experience for every member of our community. The association is made up of all clubs and organizations on campus, appointed directors and their committees, and class representatives elected by Regis College students. RUSGA was created in the spirit of empowering students to take the lead in creating programming and organizations that are of the most interest to them. The leadership of RUSGA, headed by the three elected officers, seeks constant student input to ensure that campus life at Regis is safe and that every student adapts and succeds academically, spiritually, and socially during their time at Regis University.

All traditional undergraduate students at Regis are members of RUSGA. We work together to make the best of our college experience.

THREE BRANCHES:

EXECUTIVE: 
The Executive Cabinet is one of the three arms of Student Government. It is made up of three elected officials and 7 appointed committee directors.  The Executive Cabinet has the privilege of representing the needs of the student body at large. This includes the coordination of activities for students to attend, as well as representing the student body at Board of Trustees meetings and other meetings with University administration.

LEGISLATIVE:
The Student Senate is RUSGA’s legislative branch. It is an organized body through which students’ ideas and opinions can be formulated, recognized, and pursued.  The Senate allows students to effectively influence the policies that govern their activities.  All recognized student clubs and organizations operate under the oversight of the Senate.  Under the guidance of the Vice-President and 3 elected Class Representatives per grade level, the Senate works to foster strong relationships between students and administration, faculty, and staff while encouraging sense of campus community at Regis.

JUDICIAL:
The Judicial Board guarantees students the right to fair, consistent treatment in disciplinary proceedings.  It allows students who are accused of code of conduct infractions to appeal their charges before their peers.  The J-Board also makes sure that the Executive and Legislative branches are adhering to the RUSGA constitution.  In addition, the Chief Justice moderates and certifies all RUSGA elections.
